Chapter 40 Want to win

Chapter 40 Want to win

In the cold rain, Mourinho was still standing on the sidelines, with the collar of the black windbreaker standing up and wrapping him around. The rain fell from the sky, gradually getting wet on his coat.

Also as the head coach, Don Eun sat in the coach's seat and it was raining, while Mourinho stood in the rain like a statue, regardless of the cold rain above his head.

The score is now 0:0.

Nottingham Forest relied on its home advantage to launch fast breaks and raids as soon as they came up, but they were stubbornly resisted in front of Chelsea's defense. The defense line led by Terry, the captain of the England national team, is by no means an ordinary person. Besiktas can be slaughtered by the Forest's attack lineup, which does not mean that any opponent will concede eight goals.

After six or seven minutes of attack, the Forest team still couldn't open Chelsea's defense, so they gradually slowed down and organized and slowly recovered the defense to attract Chelsea to attack, so as to give Forest team room to counterattack.

This is the style of the Forest team, their defensive counterattacks are well-known in European football. If you want to study Nottingham Forest, then this defensive counterattack is a subject that cannot be bypassed.

As a person who has been dealing with Don En for more than three years and has never won, how could Mourinho not study this opponent? He knew that the Forest team's recovery of weakness is just a false image, and their real killer move is hidden under this weakness. If he pushes rashly, he will be counterattacked by the opponent. But if he doesn't push, the score will not change at all, and he will lose the opportunity to attack...

It is this problem that has stumped many coaches who fight with the Forest. Most of them will choose to attack and seek opportunities to score, although they know that this may give the Forest a space to counterattack.

Mourinho is different. He did not let his team push out, but instead grinded slowly in the midfield and the Forest. Anyway, no matter how Nottingham Forest tempts him, his defense line will not be pushed up. Ashley Cole will return to defense immediately even if he assists. He will definitely not stay in front for too long.

"Oh, God... is here again!" the TV commentator moaned in pain and helplessness. Mourinho has never been a coach who is famous for his offensive football to please the audience. He is the "champion coach" who wins one championship after another to win world reputation. So his Chelsea always puts the result first, defensive football and "1:0ism" are Mourinho's trademarks, and Capello is his idol.

This is also part of the conflict between Abramovich and Mourinho. As a half-baked fan, Abramovich hopes to see beautiful offensive and offensive football. But as a head coach who "results more than anything else", Mourinho values ​​the result more. Defence in modern football is undoubtedly the safest and most capable of winning.

This is a conflict between the two football concepts. But it is also the most irreconcilable conflict.

Abramovich believes that Chelsea should become a world-renowned club like Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, and Arsenal. He hopes that children from all over the world will play in blue Chelsea jerseys, rather than white Real Madrid jerseys or red and black AC Milan jerseys. But he believes that winning the championship is not enough. Chelsea lacks superstars with world appeal, and lack of beautiful football is the root cause. But Mourinho is not interested in Abramovich's football words. He does not like superstars because the arrival of superstars will threaten his authority and status in this team. He doesn't even like Abramovich's fingers at the team's affairs because he feels that his power is threatened.

Mourinho believes that the team should play according to his will. He is the chief in charge. Even the club chairman cannot reach his hands into the team. He is not disliked Abramovich's "Chelsea Empire Plan", but he believes that before becoming a world-renowned club. Chelsea still has to go a long way and need to rely on real results to make the foundation. This foundation will not be beautiful, they are all rough but solid stones. Only when the foundation is laid, the superstructure has the conditions and qualifications to be well-built.

Abramovich couldn't wait for that day. So he bought Shepchenko and Barack despite Mourinho's opposition, and kept Ronaldinho and Kaka all day long. Because he couldn't stand it when he was staying in an Arab hotel, he found that the waiters there were talking about Manchester United players Cristiano Ronaldo who had just lived, and what about him? Only a few people around him were coquettishly all day long.

This situation made him unbearable, and he was eager to change all this. But Mourinho would never cooperate.

In this game, Shepchenko still sat on the bench, and Barack did not make it to the roster at all. Mourinho's statement before the game was that "Barack has been injured." This is too fake. Just over a dozen days ago, Barack played in the European Championship qualifiers for the German team, and his performance was lively and he was not injured at all.

Did Shepchenko not start? Mourinho was tired of this question and refused to answer. It was just rumored that Shepchenko was also injured, but after all, it was a rumor that only genius believed it.

Now, watching Mourinho push each other slowly in the midfield and his opponent. In fact, there are very few attacks. Abramovich, sitting in the VIP box, looks gradually unsightly.

Don En didn't expect Mourinho to be so tough in this game. It was clear that he was fighting with himself in the midfield. The two teams had neither weak midfield strength, and neither could completely suppress the other. There was a victory or defeat for each other. The consequence of this was that no one could dominate the game, and the game could only spend every minute and every second in a stalemate between each other.

Such a game lacks fast and fierce offensive and defensive battles, without the amazing skills of the stars, the Forest team's advantage in speed cannot be used, and Chelsea's Drogba has the strength to use it. The game without highlights is naturally worthless to the audience.

"The game is too dull. Both sides want to win, but they are a little reluctant... They are repeatedly entangled in the midfield and lack penetrating passes - because the two teams' defensive organization is excellent, too many straight passes will only lead to too many mistakes. So both Nottingham Forest and Chelsea seem very cautious. The continuous cross-pass transfer and return passes have made this game lose its visibility. Let's compare the game between Arsenal and Manchester United just ended. The intense and intense match is completely incomparable to this game. It seems... the duel between old enemies is still better than the newcomers."

The commentator said nothing wrong, except for the psychological analysis of the coaches of the two teams.

The Arsenal vs. Manchester United game before this game was really a collision with Mars.

Before the end of the first half, Arsenal's captain, French central defender William Gala, accidentally touched the ball into his own goal in the chaos. Manchester United, who played away, temporarily led by one goal with this own goal. Just two minutes into the second half, Arsenal's midfield core Fabregas used a long shot to equalize the score.

Next, the two sides launched a fierce attack, and the offense and defense transition was fast. The stars showed off their unique skills, which made the audience excited. The second climax of the game came in the last ten minutes. In the 81st minute, Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal for the team and helped Manchester United lead 2:1.

Just when everyone thought that Manchester United would retreat from the Emirates Stadium with three points, and was so angry that they were so angry that they were so angry.

In the 90th minute, Arsenal captain William Gala, who had just scored an own goal for 45 minutes ago, completed his self-salvation. He scored a goal to equalize the score in the corner kick obtained by Arsenal. When he raised his arms and shouted, the Emirates Stadium was thunderous. The game ended at the climax, and the score was frozen at 2:2.

Look, there are four goals in this game, as well as own goals, self-salvation of sinners and sinners. There is a tragic comedy of never giving up equalizing the score at the last moment, and it is hard to remember such a game. In comparison, this game is also much inferior when it is played in the rain.

The dark sky seems to be a portrayal of this game so far, a dull performance. The offense that is uninteresting and the passing mistakes are frequent. If someone likes to watch big stars fall and roll in the mud in the mud, he will definitely be satisfied. But unfortunately, not many people have this perverted mentality.

If this is a Barcelona or Real Madrid game, and if it plays like this, no matter who is at home, there will be boos in the stands and resounding throughout the world. But the fans of both teams worship their head coaches, even if the game is dull, their cheering voices did not weaken at all.

As long as they can defeat the opponent, they will not care about the game process. Of course, it would be even more exciting if they rely on the opponent's own goal to defeat the opponent!

"I don't think we have to get in such a way with them in the midfield." Tang said to Tang En next to him. "Maybe you can try to hit the back without going through the midfield and hitting him directly?"

Tang En pinched his chin and looked for a while: "What you said may be a solution." He got up and walked to the sidelines and conveyed the adjustment to the team.

Chelsea obviously wanted to disrupt Forest's counterattack plan through a melee between the midfield and the Forest. Then it might be a feasible idea to bypass the midfield. If you put too much energy on the midfield, except for George Wood, it might be the best in this game. Forests have no benefits.

He made a gesture asking the team leader to pass the ground.

This was a time when Tang En was not sure whether it was effective. He did it, but he did not get the results he wanted.

When the Forest team wants to bypass the midfield and directly play against the opponent. This result will instead bring more mistakes to the team. Van Nistruy lacks support in front, and his teammates support will weaken the strength of the midfield.

Chelsea seized this opportunity and intercepted the ball and launched a quick attack. Lampard took George Wood away, Drogba attracted the attention of two people, Ayala and Kompani. The Forest defended all the Chelsea dangerous figures they thought, and there was only one person they didn't pay attention to, because that person was too threatening in the offense.

But this guy suddenly took a long shot after receiving Essin's pass from the midfield! A long shot that was thirty meters away from the goal passed through the crowd and directly penetrated the goal guarded by Van der Sar!

The listless commentator screamed: "Excellent goal! Marklele defeated Van der Sar!"

Yes, the goalkeeper is the most unlikely midfielder Mark Lele.

Don En was shocked by this scene. Before the game, he asked the players to pay close attention to several Chelsea's offensive points and completely freeze these dangerous elements at all costs. He mentioned the names of many people, even if it was Shepchenko who did not play, he did not say that Marklele. He believed that Marklele would not be the one who would solve the problem with one blow in the offense.

But he was wrong.

"World Wave!" The commentator was still excited. In addition to the strong contrast brought by the dullness of the previous game, the ball was indeed beautiful and deserved the evaluation of "World Wave".

The football flew straight from the midfield thirty meters away to the goal. Van der Sar, who was 1.97 meters tall, rose up and stretched his arms as much as possible. He tried his best, but he still couldn't save the goal behind him. The football rubbed his fingertips and flew into the goal between the post and his hands.

The whole process makes people speechless... Of course, there is one person who is the exception.

"Let him do it again... He can't score such a goal even if he does one hundred times!" Don Eun roared angrily on the sidelines, but his voice was quickly drowned in the cheers of Chelsea fans.

Done did not admit that his tactical arrangement was wrong, and he thought he had lost to luck - at this moment, Marklele possessed God and shot probably the most beautiful goal of his career.

"Just remember George Wood's goal in Chelsea in the semi-finals of the Champions League! This goal is a classic! They all come from the defensive midfielders who are the most unlikely to score goals, and they are all just as beautiful! Chelsea was eliminated in the semi-finals of the Champions League because of George Wood's outstanding performance! Now, the Chelsea are back to take revenge!"

Mourinho waved his fists excitedly on the sidelines, and his coat fluttered with raindrops. If anyone could see his expression, he would be surprised that he was not laughing, but gritting his teeth.

The TV broadcast cut a shot to the private room at a very time. In the simple private room of the city stadium, Chelsea's club chairman Abramovich celebrated the goal with his forehand dance. Faced with such a beautiful goal, a smile appeared on his face as cold as Siberia.

What if this ball was not a "world wave"? He might not even be able to get up...

Judging from this shot alone, Mourinho and Abramovich may not have any conflicts... However, after celebrating the goal, Abramovich applauded and sat down again, and his face turned into "Siberia".

Celebrating goals is celebrating goals, which cannot change his view of Mourinho at all.

Besides, even if Mourinho can lead the team to play as beautiful as Arsenal, it will not change the result that he and Abramovich have different personalities and are in conflict with their horoscopes, and one of them will inevitably leave.

Mourinho also knew this very well. After celebrating the goal arrogantly, he returned to his "obsidian statue" posture, stood in the rain with his hands in his pockets, watching the game with a cold face.

Even if he wins this game, it is meaningless for whether he will stay at Chelsea. Since it is meaningless, it is completely unnecessary to keep these issues in his heart. He wants to win this game not to hope to stay at Chelsea, but because his opponent is Tony Don, he wants to win, it is that simple.
